I will start lol ... I got blocked by ex UK Dollar pop star David Van Day on Twitter (now known as X) ..... I commented on him doing a sing song in an old people's home and he hot the hump about it.

I think I was blocked by Alistair Stewart as well but can't remember why. But he also liked or retweeted me as well before then. Allison Pearson also blocked when I pointed out something she tweeted was incorrect. I saw that as a badge of honour tbh.

Zack Pinsent who's a tailor who only ever wears period clothing. I love his style and how he's just himself. But he blocked me on X presumably because I follow JKR and he's very much a TWAW person
.

Love that you started this thread @HazelOP1972 - thank you!

I got blocked by... honestly... Elon Musk... PRE his purchase of Twix!

I think it was something to do with self-made man swagger status and I pointed out that his daddy owned an emerald mine. Pleased he was not.

HermioneWeasley · 12/01/2026 21:31

I am also blocked by H from Steps. I assume he uses the block list created by the paedophile child torturer because that’s more palatable than listening to women.

Alice Roberts for asking if a lovely drawing of a uterus, ovaries and vagina could be know as “the female reproductive system”.

Frankie Boyle, who may I remind you his whole brand is about being shocking, for saying that there’s no such thing as a woman with a penis.

there’s a theme.

I was blocked by Donald Trump when he was on Twitter. I called him a cunt.

Are you kidding? I tried so hard to get him to block me 🤣🤣 ANNND I called him a cunt, regularly!! (Past tense because I deleted twitter when the other cunt bought it).

Some Reality Z lister blocked me because she was dishing out potentially sight threatening contact lens advice (and advertising a company that sells unsafe lenses), and I contradicted her.

GreenPoms · 12/01/2026 21:33

I’ve been blocked by a few people. Mostly unhinged, anti-science type men who demand that I should call them women, based on misogynistic ideas about what it means to be a woman.

Why have you all been blocked from H steps? 🤣🤣🤣 should start a club lol. Make badges and everything.

We are a club. He blocks every gender critical woman.

Wow really? Guess he can't handle other's opinions then. Bit wet lettuce just to block someone because of a difference in opinion.

Someone being abusive? Fair enough but to me it just lacks intelligence, if someone cannot handle a different opinion to your own.

Saying that I think x formerly known as twatter (to me anyway) and threads is like the cess pit of internet so not worth listening to the likes of him anyway.

I've just been to check and I am not blocked by H from Steps. I'll have to try harder!

None of you are missing anything, his feed is pretty boring.

pnutter · 19/01/2026 01:00

Jason Manford , ages ago , I can’t remember what I posted exactly

Mumofyellows · 19/01/2026 05:45

Jodie Marsh for questioning something she was saying about ponies she had supposedly rescued.

GarlicSound · 19/01/2026 06:06

I'm also multi-blocked on TwitX for knowing people can't change sex.

I was shadow-banned for so long on there, my tweets & replies became invisible to even my friends & followers and the algorithm now treats me as lowest priority. So I've stopped using it, meaning the ladymen won. Bastards.

Facebook, some real-life friends blocked me over the same issue. I also lost some over Brexit and the pandemic, quite a few during feminism arguments, and several more seem to have unfollowed me. It's strange, 'not speaking' to someone used to be quite a serious measure but, online, it's just routine!

silverringpoles · 19/01/2026 06:11

I got blocked by Richie from Team RH for saying there was no particular ‘magic’ to his weight loss programmes. 😆

cariadlet · 19/01/2026 06:14

Andrew Doyle. No idea why. It was when he was doing Free Speech Nation which I loved.

Deborah Frances-White because I criticised The Guilty Feminist podcast for sucking up to the awful man who was running the Edinburgh rape crisis centre.

Cara Santa Maria of the Skeptics Guide to the Universe because I criticised comments she made on her own podcast about "healthcare" for "trans kids".

SGU really annoys me because it's generally an excellent science podcast. They pride themselves on their scepticism, talk about conspiracy theories and cognitive biases but are such cowards on gender ideology. Don't promote it but are silent instead of debunking it like they do with other nonsense.

H from Steps too, but I think thousands have been blocked by him.

Haha, I remember seeing people posting about this once and went and checked on Twitter, and I’d been blocked by him too 😂

Neurodiversemom · 19/01/2026 06:28

No one has blocked me. But I've blocked many creeps. Lol

I imagine that was probably a relief 🤣

rainandshine38 · 19/01/2026 06:33

Ricky Gervaise blocked me on twitter. Apparently that was something he was doing at the time. I can’t even remember what I said tbh. Nothing too derogatory.

Worried198423 · 19/01/2026 06:34

I got blocked by Marilyn.
I've no idea why

silverringpoles · 19/01/2026 06:37

I got blocked on X by a MP who was going on and on about a local church who had removed the pews and replaced them with chairs. It was all done officially but this MP claimed it was ‘desecration’. I asked if he was a member of the church (he wasn’t) and also why was he so concerned about what people sat on. I thought I was polite - but it earned me a block.

Qwerty111 · 19/01/2026 06:39

Keith Chegwin, I made a joke on Twitter, he stole it and blocked me. Apparently he did that a lot so I’m surprised nobody else has mentioned him yet.

loislovesstewie · 19/01/2026 06:49

India Willoughby, Owen Jones, George Galloway and Jeremy Corbyn. 😂😂😂

Icepop79 · 19/01/2026 07:03

Kirstie Allsopp. Can’t remember the details but something to do with her friendship with the odious Tony Young.

Jolyon Maugham for suggesting biological women might need their own safe spaces.

HelenaWaiting · 19/01/2026 07:06

Is anyone not blocked by India Willoughby?

Jolyon Maugham for calling him a negligee-wearing fox botherer.
